Where the Moltres money is

Value is not spread evenly across the printings — the ranking below is by total tracked value, not by card count, the same measure as the most valuable Pokémon cards.

The top 9 of 42 Moltres cards hold 81% of the $3,576 total. The remaining 33 share what is left, which is why a “complete Moltres collection” in the collection tracker costs far less than the headline suggests until you reach the top row.

This is the median, not the average. Averaging the ratios gives 70.8×, which only 9 of 38 cards (24%) actually reach: a card worth a few cents raw with a three-figure slab produces a ratio in the hundreds and drags the mean above almost the whole set. The median is what a card in the middle really does, and it is the figure to take to the grading ROI calculator.

Indexed over 21 of this set's 42 cards — the ones with enough PriceCharting sales history to track continuously.

1 year is withheld: the weighted index and the basket total disagree over that window, which means the index was re-based rather than the cards re-priced. A number we cannot stand behind is worse than no number.

Strongest Moltres grading opportunities

Ranked by expected net — every grade weighted by how often this card actually earns it (the gem rate beside each card is its PSA 10 share). Best case is the PSA 10 outcome, which is why it is the larger number and the one to trust least.

Collecting Moltres cards

Moltres has been printed in every era of the game, from 1999 (Fossil) to 2025 (Destined Rivals). The Modern (2011–2019) era holds the most printings, 15 of the 42. The value sits elsewhere: the Vintage (1999–2003) era's 9 cards are worth $1,451, 41% of the total, against $452 for the Modern (2011–2019) printings.

Moltres cards are affordable but not bulk: 11 of the 42 priced cards sit under $5 raw, the cheapest being the Moltres, and the median card is worth about $19.06. 14 are worth $50 or more, and 2 clear $500. Those 14 cards hold 90% of the total on this page.

By rarity the printings split into 12 tiers, led by Rare Holo (11), Promo (8) and Rare (8). 38 of the 42 cards carry a PSA 10 price, the figure the grading section uses; those cards are worth about $19.99 raw at the median, against $1.44 for the 4 with no gem-mint price on file.

The grid filters by set and rarity and sorts by value, era, the PSA 10 gap or the 30-day move, so the cheapest Moltres is one sort away (add the rarity filter for the cheapest holo); the by-set index above lists every card as text for when you know the number. Prices are CardTrack's blended raw value from real sold results, updated today.
